Philadelphia Independents — Local services in Philadelphia

Spent over $100 in here a week ago, have visited many times and purchased items almost every time. Today I took a friend to buy an item that she liked that I was wearing (so I took them a customer) and I saw a sheet of stickers that I wanted, an $8 item. I stood in front of the register and said "I am not stealing this I just want to make sure it fits in my bag before I purchase it otherwise I will come back this week as I live in the neighborhood" it did not fit nor did I push it to see if it would, when I said it doesn't fit the women at the register (who was there when I was there this past sunday) said well when you come back don't bend it, I responded with I didnt and she shot back with ya, okay. This was so unbelievly rude, I did no damage to the item, if she had any sense or ability to retain customers she should have said let me get your name we can hold the item for you until Monday in which I would have came back and got it. I will NEVER be back nor will I tell anyone where I purchased my items - I will send them straight to the person...

It makes me sad to write this review, but today’s experience was disappointing to say the least. My sister and I had traveled over an hour and a half to visit this shop to support the local artisans and makers of Philadelphia Independents on Small Business Saturday. Unfortunately, the female employee working behind the counter was extremely rude the moment we walked in and ignored us while she sat behind the computer for the remainder of our visit. Although there were many places that we could have spent our time today, we wanted to come here, and as a result of this experience will not be back again. This unfortunately is not the first time I have experienced this kind of behavior from the employees at this storefront. And, based on reading recent reviews, it seems some others share the same experience. Again, it makes me sad to write this, because I am passionate about shopping small and supporting local businesses, but this was not a place I felt even welcomed to enter. I hope it...

I went into this shop to make a purchase from an item I saw in the window. First the shop owner with black hair was rude upon entry. She told me to use the sanitizer with a very nasty tone. I then asked about an item. She responded in a likewise rude tone. I bought the item to the counter and handed her cash. She told me NO cash. That sign was not posted anywhere. When I asked who she told me Philadelphia law prohibits cash during the pandemic. THIS is not true. I had just paid at two other shops in cash. I also called the offices of Old City and Philadelphia and I as told that was false information and in fact a law was passed requiring merchants to accept cash. If this RUDE & NASTY attitude owner chooses to not take cash then put up a sign and don’t lie about it. DO NOT shop here. The woman isn’t honest and that should bbe...
